Ceramic filter
A ceramic filter has the same functioning principle as cloth- and compact filter. The gas flow are conducted in a large chamber in which a ceramic filter material has been installed. The ceramic filter can be made out of aluminum oxide, silica oxide and silica carbide.
Figure 8: Ceramic filter (source: http://www.epin.ncsu.edu/apti/ol_2000/module6/matter/control/images/fig13.gif) The advantages of a ceramic filter are: The same general advantages as cloth filters Ceramic filters have a high dust removal efficiency Ceramic filters have been built modular and can manage high dust taxes Fiber elements have on the other hand relative smaller pressure, At the same time they are cheaper and have a small weight The disadvantages of the ceramic filter are: Ceramic filters demands much maintenance and have a high weight Fiber elements in which cloth or fiber is processed need a lot of support Cleaning fiber elements demands large problems because on high temperature the lump shaping of the dust are hampered back as a result of cleaning and therefore difficult to remove to remove Less suitable for sticky dust Temperature fluctuations cleaning with press air Explosion danger at flammable dust Relatively high costs Click here for more information about dust purification technologies For more books and reading information see our website: Air treatment books overview
